All Safari bookmarks loading on launch

I updated my system to OS27 this week and ran into several problems. I am having a problem with Safari. I open Safari and all of my bookmarks attempt to load. All 50+! I had to remove all of my bookmarks to use Safari (for now). I do not know what setting is triggering this action. This was not happening with OS26. I have stripped all bookmarks and attempted to load up some new bookmarks and still they would attempt to load the pages from the bookmark. There were no changes to settings within Safari on the update. Please point me to a solution.

I have found a solution that I did not expect. It turns out that if you wish to place an URL in the top level of favourites it will automatically launch on Safari launch. Place it into a folder in your favourites you will not get the page load.
